“The brain’s limbic system functions differently for those with BPD than it does for others,” says Dr. Heller, who has been practicing medicine for 28 years. “ I want people to understand that there is help for them, that they can be treated and live a wonderful life. But to do so, the first step is to recognize the disorder.”
Six behavioral traits he has recognized are common in those who with BPD include:
1. Zero to rage in 3.6 seconds
2. Binge spending and/or binge eating
3. Stormy relationships and/or multiple divorces
4. Mood swings that can be severe
5. Self-mutilation
6. Substance abuse
